HI,

Sorry about this topic, it is probably discussed but I could not find the topics about "how to use polarizer with rangefinder cameras"

Can somebody point me to anything about this topic?

You look directly through the polarizing filter turning it to the desired affect, and then place it over the rangefinder lens pointing in the same direction. Don't forget to compensate for the filter factor in calculating the exposure.

You will have to check first through the finder or even directly trhough the filter where you get the desired effect. Then you mount the filter on the lens making sure you put in the same position. It will help if you put some marks in the outer ring to help you determine the exact position.
This applies also to TLR. Rollei made a polarizer with a scale on the outer ring (rolleipol), so you will determine the desired effect with the viewing lens , remember the number on the scale aligned with the index mark and then you'll put the filter on the taking lens and made sure the number in the scale was aligned with the index mark

Buy a Kenko indexed polarising filter the right size for your lens. Use the accessory polarising viewfinder in the hotshoe of your camera. Match the numbers.
